If you’ve ever watched a fly fishing YouTube video, there’s a good chance you’ve come across one produced by today’s guest, Colin McKeown. Colin sadly passed away last month, and today I want to re-release an interview I did with him in 2019.

Colin was behind one of the largest fly fishing YouTube channels and inspired many in the industry.

Show Notes with Celebrating the Life of Colin Mckeown.

I want to take this moment to celebrate his life and encourage anyone impacted by his work to reach out to his family, The New Fly Fisher team, or even to me if you'd like to share how Colin inspired you or influenced your fishing journey.

In this episode, we dive into Colin’s background, and how he started The New Fly Fisher, and we’ll talk about Atlantic Salmon, Newfoundland, and his full story. This is from 2019, and as I mentioned, Colin passed away in September of 2024.

This is a rerelease of Episode 084. If you'd like to listen to the original episode, you can find it here.
